Well, the clamps came off this evening and the reconstituted pinblock is
dead flat within 0.4 mm.   As I mentioned before, this is my first pin block
install.  I'm pleased to I'll be working with a block (at this point) that
will require the minimum of fussing.

Thanks all for pointing out that I didn't have to spend more bucks.   I'm
feeling much better, thank you!
